It is not surprising that Sun Hao would have this idea.

Historically, Spanoulis has also landed in the NBA, but he went to Houston and met Van Gundy.

It's not that Van Gundy is deliberately targeting him, it's that each coach has his own preferences.

Defensive coaches generally don't like players who defend poorly.

Spanoulis is one of those typical players who is strong in attack and weak in defense.

It's like if you ask Nash to play for Van Gundy, you probably won't get too many opportunities.

Not to mention the "European Nash" of Spanoolris.

But Phil Jackson is different.

Thinking about Steve Kerr's position with the Bulls, Spanoulis could have a place with the Lakers.

And Spanoulis was drafted with the 50th pick, the trade value is not high, and it is not difficult for the Lakers to get him.

……

Spanoulis performed well, but as shown after the opening, the overall strength of the Chinese team was significantly stronger than that of the Greek team.

However, in the home game, the Greek team played very tenaciously and fought with the Chinese team until the end.

It was Sun Hao again, who scored two three-pointers in a row to help the Chinese team defeat the Greek team 89-81 and successfully advance to the semifinals.

Sun Hao scored a game-high 29 points and shot 7-of-11 from beyond the three-point line.

On the Greek side, Spanoulis performed well, scoring 21 points and 5 assists second only to Sun Hao in the game.

Historically, Spanoulis, Papalucas, and Shark Cub did not become popular until the 2006 World Championships.

Now the situation is that Spanoulis has come to the fore first.

After the game, the Chinese team went back to the locker room to change their clothes and went to the audience to watch the game.

The quarterfinals are played in one day.

Before the match between China and Greece, there were already two results in the match.

Germany defeated Lithuania 67-66 to win the European Civil War and advance to the semi-finals.

Nowitzki scored 33 points and played a lone hero.

Argentina beat Spain 106-96.

The Spanish team has played very well, but the strength of this Argentine team is ridiculously strong.

In this way, the semi-finals of the Olympic Games have already locked three places, namely Germany, Argentina, and China.

The last group of opponents who win in the quarter-finals will be the opponents of the Chinese team in the semi-finals.

That's what Sun Hao is curious about and concerned about.

United States VS Puerto Rico.

Of course, Sun Hao opened his eyes.

In the eyes of most fans, despite the poor performance of the U.S. team in the group stage, it was still a one-sided game.

The game started soon.

The Dream Six team had a big problem as soon as they started.

Their outer line is iron again.

Iverson and Marbury took turns banging, and the baskets in the Athens Olympic Indoor Pavilion roared.

As it turned out, Marbury's performance in the quarterfinals was short-lived.

Unreliable outside shooters are difficult to play in FIBA games.

The American Basketball Association lives in a dream more than American football fans.

In the 2006 World Championships in history, they sent a young lineup dominated by the 03 generation, but they still did not arrange a shooter, and the result capsized again.

That is, after three failures in a row, they knew the importance of shooters, Kobe, Paul, and Delon were not enough, and even Reed was sent out, and there was a re-climb to the top in 08.

Puerto Rico grabbed the Dream Six's inaccurate point from the outside to shrink the basket, and the U.S. team struggled to score.

Looking back, they seized on the problem of the lack of tacit understanding in the defense of the Dream Six team, and frequently used blocking and dismantling shots.

At the end of the first quarter, Puerto Rico was 21-20 ahead of the United States by 1 point!

And in the first and second quarters of the substitute transition, the Puerto Rico team grabbed the time period when Iverson and Marbury were not present, and played a wave of 10-1 offensive, which stretched the difference to 12 points!

The fans at the scene were shocked and excited.

The U.S. team is going to be knocked out of the rhythm outside the final four of the Olympics!

If this really happens, then in the American basketball world, no, the world basketball world will be a big earthquake!

Sun Hao was also a little excited.

If what happened in the group stage in history turned into the quarter-finals, it would be interesting!

But that's when things changed.

When Brown came back from a timeout, it was clear that he was playing a game for Anthony.

Anthony scored eight points in 10 minutes of playing in the opening game against China, and his playing time has increased since then.

In this case, Brown directly arranged tactics for him.

Anthony also lived up to Brown's expectations, with a three-pointer, a breakaway foul, and a self-throwing and stealing foul.

He scored 7 points in a row in one go, and stabilized the situation on the court in one fell swoop.

It turns out that players with stable projection are just good at FIBA.

Sun Hao felt at this time that Anthony's existence had made reality and history develop in different directions.

This feeling of his was also confirmed in the following races.

Anthony's projection made Puerto Rico dare not shrink so obviously, and the U.S. team's offense was noticeably better.

At halftime, Puerto Rico still led the United States by five points, 47-42.

In the third quarter, Brown put Anthony in the starting lineup, and the U.S. team overtook the score in a play-and-match match.

In the end, the U.S. team lost first and then won, defeating Puerto Rico 94-87 and successfully advancing to the final four.

Anthony played bravely, scoring a team-high 21 points, setting a record for the youngest U.S. team to score 20+ points in a single game at the Olympics.

After Sun Hao read it, he couldn't help but sigh about Anthony's situation.

Because of his appearance, this is a 180° turn.

However, with Anthony's performance, the Chinese team wants to win the Dream Six team again, and it will definitely not be as easy as in the group stage.

But no matter what, the Chinese team met the American team again.

Moreover, it was in the semi-finals.

This time, it's either you dead or I'm dead.

The post-game press conference was attended by Iverson, Anthony and Brown.

'We didn't feel very good on the outside tonight and Melo helped us a lot and I always believed in him.

Brown didn't shy away from his admiration for Anthony.

Who wouldn't boast about their girlfriend's beauty?

It's just that Iverson couldn't help but turn his head to look at Brown.

"We will beat China and I am still confident that we will defend our title."

When the reporter asked Iverson, Iverson was still confident.

This is also his character, just like what he said at the beginning, "I will not respect anyone, and I will not be afraid of anyone".

Rebelliousness is in the bones.

……

The semi-finals will be played a day later, giving teams one day to prepare.

Sun Hao called Kupchak first and told him about Spanolys.

Kupchak has also expressed interest in the European defender.

In fact, Sun Hao is playing in the Olympics, and the Lakers have always been paying attention.

This is also the norm for NBA teams, and those NBA players on the U.S. team, their home team is also paying attention to the whole process.

It's not about how they're doing, it's about the injuries that might arise.

You must know that those who can enter the U.S. national team are basically the core players of each team.

Just like Paul George in history, he was seriously injured because of playing in the national team, and the following season of the Pacers was directly scrapped.

That's what the teams are most afraid of.

If you pay attention to Sun Hao, you will naturally notice the performance of Spanolys.

However, because Spanoulis is automatically running for the election at the age of 22, whether he wants to go to the NBA or not needs to be contacted to find out.

After making a phone call with Kupchak, Sun Hao went to look for ...... Nowitzki.

Spanoolis had to wait for Kupchak to finish talking, and he took a moment to meet Nowitzki for a bite to eat.

The previous group stage schedule is tight, and they haven't been in touch yet.

And this is the first time the two have met since he was traded.

Nowitzki's expression was a little complicated when he saw Sun Hao.

Although the two have talked about the transaction on the phone, the four-year partner is like talking about four years of love, and was finally forcibly broken up by the family.

That's not something that can be relieved all at once.

Not to mention that they have been through so many ups and downs together.

"I'll miss you."

Nowitzki was affectionate.

"The Silver Horn King."

Sun Hao felt that the atmosphere was too sensational, patted Nowitzki on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Nowitzki managed to be amused by him.

After the atmosphere was a little more relaxed, they didn't talk about trading anymore.

The wood is already in the boat, and no amount of talk can change anything.

They started talking about the rest of the game.

Similar to the World Championships two years ago, they reached the semi-finals together and have a chance to go further.

And it's going to be even more special for Nowitzki, because he's going to play Argentina, which he played two years ago.

Revenge, or being down, there will be results tomorrow.

"We'll see you in the finals!"

At the end of the conversation, Nowitzki's words made Sun Hao angry and funny.

This guy is really afraid that his milk won't turn over himself.

"See you in the final."

But this time, Sun Hao didn't say anything, but reached out and shook hands with Nowitzki.

……

On the second day, the semi-finals of the Olympic Games kicked off at the Olympic Indoor Pavilion.

Both games were played in the evening.

The match between the Chinese team and the United States team started first.

The stadium is still full of attendance.

Although the host has been eliminated, there is Sun Hao and the United States team, and it is played at night, so the attention of such a game cannot be low.

The familiar Sun Hao's big-headed KT board in the audience is back.

Although they have already experienced it, seeing such a scene, the players of the American team still can't help but envy.

Especially James, Anthony and Wade.

As a rookie of the 03 generation, Sun Hao's influence in Europe shocked them extraordinarily.

But unlike the other two, Anthony always had a melon-like smile on his face tonight.

While in the locker room, Brown has already announced that he will play directly as a starter tonight!

The 20-year-old U.S. national team starts, and that sounds beautiful.

Of course, what's even more beautiful is that he is, James is not.

He even took the initiative to go to the Chinese team to greet Sun Hao during the pre-game warm-up.

When Sun Hao introduced him to his teammates, Anthony's face was no longer beautiful.

After the warm-up, the starters on both sides appeared one after another.

On the Chinese team's side, Sun Hao, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

On the U.S. side, Iverson, Jefferson, Anthony, Odom, Duncan.

Brown made a big change in this game.

Although the on-the-spot command ability is not very strong, similar to Van Gundy, Brown still has the ability to adjust from field to field.

Otherwise, with his little defensive training, it would not have been possible to lead the Pistons to a championship last season.

Yi Jianlian continued to show his talent, moving the ball over Duncan's head back to the Chinese half.

The semi-finals between China and the United States have officially begun!

The Chinese team's frontcourt running tactics, and the U.S. team's defense, have obviously improved.

Brown's previous starting lineup was problematic, with Marbury's defense average and Stoudemire being a completely non-defensive master.

Now with Jefferson and Odom, the motivation is noticeably higher.

The first attack of the Chinese team did not succeed.

However, the Chinese team retreated quickly and did not let the American team play a fast attack.

Iverson organized in the frontcourt, and Anthony came out to receive the ball through the cover.

A virtual shaking, and then a step of dry pulling.

"Huh!"

Anthony's offense looks aesthetically pleasing.

Ability aside, he is another player with a great style of play after Maddie.

Dream Six Team, come out on top!

The Chinese team's attack, Yao Ming's hook hand that turned after receiving the ball in the third second zone scored.

The lineup of the Chinese team on the field is, in a sense, a star-studded.

Especially with Sun Hao here, the defense of the American team did not dare to close in.

In this case, as long as Yao Ming receives the ball in the penalty area, he is very sure that no matter who the defender is.

Switching offense and defense, after organizing a wave of missed opportunities, Iverson directly signaled the others to pull away, and then gave the ball to Anthony to play alone!

It was clear that Anthony's excellent performance in the last game won the trust of not only Brown's, but also the rest of the Dream Six team!

Anthony holds the ball and hits Zhu Fangyu with his back.

Zhu Fangyu is strong, even though he is only 21 years old now, and his physique is already very high among domestic small forwards.

But Anthony seemed to be struggling on top, and he was pushed back step by step.

And Anthony moves very quickly, and after feeling that the position is about the same, he directly turns around and walks to the basket.

Zhu Fangyu couldn't keep up with the movements.

Fortunately, Yao Ming on the inside line pounced to help defend, and Anthony's shot was interfered with and smashed out of the frame.

However, as soon as Yao Ming came out, Duncan was empty under the basket.

Stone Buddha pulls onions on dry land, and scores with one hand!

4 to 2!

The U.S. team played tonight, which was completely different from the opening game.

In fact, the strength of this Dream Six team is really not weak, the problem is in defensive enthusiasm and lack of projection.

Especially the shooting ability, that is the most lethal point.

But the appearance of Anthony solved this problem!

Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian burst into the basket to attract the defense after blocking and dismantling, and steadily distributed the ball to the bottom corner in the hands of Zhu Fangyu, who scored three points.

4 to 5!

Sun Hao has been training passing at the Evolution House before, and his passing stability has improved a lot compared to last season.

The fans at the scene were a little hilarious, both teams played at a very high level at the beginning, and this kind of game is what the audience wants to see the most!

The American team attacked the position.

Iverson continues to give the ball to Anthony!

Although Anthony's attack didn't score just now, it has already pulled the Chinese team's defense, and it can be regarded as a successful round.

Anthony catches the ball, and then sees his defender become Yi Jianlian.

Harris's reaction speed was still very fast, and after seeing that Zhu Fangyu couldn't stand it, he decisively changed to Yi Jianlian.

The U.S. team used Odom to play the No. 4 position, and Zhu Fangyu was barely able to play the upper position.

After Anthony saw that it was Yi Jianlian, he chose the attack of the face frame.

Yi Jianlian stretched out his hand to cover Anthony's shooting space, his defensive ability is much stronger than Zhu Fangyu, and he is also there.

At this moment, Anthony posed as a triple threat, suddenly took a step, and then took Yi Jianlian as the axis and directly made a 360° sharp turn.

Appeared, Anthony's iconic "washing machine maneuver"!

When Yi Jianlian turned around, Anthony had already arrived at the basket and scored with a light basket!

6 to 5!

The Dream Six team overtook the score again!

Sun Hao also saw the light in his eyes, what a fiba killer!
